About Fanatics Momentum

Fanatics Momentum is building the UAE's leading regulated commercial gaming operator. Licensed by the General Commercial Gaming Regulatory Authority (GCGRA), we operate across lottery, iGaming, sports book, and digital content, combining Momentum's regional foundation with Fanatics' global product, technology, and scale. The business is ambitious, well-resourced, and moving fast. If you want to help build a category-defining operator in one of the world's most exciting regulated gaming markets, this is the right time to join.

We're building a new UAE-based business spanning Sports book, Lottery and a broader Fan Ecosystem, backed by Fanatics and Momentum. As Senior Director - Customer Platform, you’ll own the shared customer capabilities that connect those experiences into one relationship. Your challenge:
How do we make it simple, trusted and valuable for customers to join, transact, engage and move across the Fan Mo ecosystem?

This is a seat at the table. You’ll define the platform strategy, build the team and partner across Technology, Compliance, Operations, Data and Product to shape the customer experience and scale the business regionally and internationally. Customer Platform is a first-class product domain, not a support function.

The ideal candidate is a builder and systems thinker who can simplify complex customer, technical and regulatory problems while balancing immediate vertical needs with the long-term platform and building the team and product model as the business takes shape.
